3D printing may be set to change the world by letting us make all sorts of bespoke objects, but there’s one little problem: the printers can only print items smaller than themselves.

Researchers at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory invented a new 3D printer, which they nicknamed "replicator" after the famous Star Trek device. The printer makes objects ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing.

Now printers are going 3D, printing real objects. Though companies have been using 3D printers to make prototypes for years, new technology now allows consumers to take advantage of it at home.

With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but soft enough ...

A team has created an application called PartCrafter that creates 3D models, in single or multiple parts, using AI based on ...

The researchers, who detailed their work in this paper, found a way to 3D-print plastic objects that can absorb or reflect ambient WiFi signals and send data wirelessly to any WiFi receiver like a ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

Impossible Objects has designs to speed up the 3D printing revolution. The company announced on Tuesday its latest industrial 3D printer, CBAM-2, which is designed to be 10 times faster than the ...

the more resolution there is in the printed object. The second most popular method for 3D printing is an older technique called stereolithography, or SLA. In this case, photo-curable resin is ...

A Czech 3D printing company called Fillamentum has released the first ostensibly biodegradable filament, the stringy plastic used to extrude printed objects. Called NonOilen, the filament is made ...

Recreate famous space objects and NASA spacecraft using your 3D printer and these free print files. 3D printers have, surprisingly, been in existence since the eightie recently that they’ve ...
